My power, her fate… There were rules that governed life and death. I was never meant to break them. My duty was simple: guide the dead to the underworld and never question fate.
But when Anastasia was denied entry to Elysium, I refused to accept her sentence. Desperate to give her the eternity she deserved and a path back to me, I stole her soul and forced it into a new life.
But she came back… wrong. Anastasia returned not as the gentle soul I remembered, but as Ana the Deathless, a ruthless pirate captain feared across the seas.
She was bold, brutal, and utterly untamed, steadily becoming a legend among her crew. I risked everything to save her. Yet she returned with no memory of me and no need to be rescued.
But like a moth to a flame, I was forever drawn to her, and like a moth to a flame there was a chance I would get burned by Ana the Deathless.
